   Bill Gates

   I have no problem with Bill Gates being No 1 on this list as long as his company doesn't steal intellectual property from me or other guys.
   Unfortunately, MS routinely and knowingly steals IP from smaller rivals and individuals.
   Somebody estimated that the total liabilities of MS for illegaly using someone else's IP are somewhere between 100 and 200 billion bucks...
   When all those small companies and individuals start demanding their compensation from MS (and some of them already did), Bill Gates will quickly move down on that list...

   "New to the technology billionaires' list in 2005 were Anurag Dikshit (#207, $3.3 billion),"
   
   I doubt he got an honerable mention just because he is new. Funny though, this guy down at the Y keeps thnking I am this guy here. We must look alike... Cuz I sure aint rich.

    I mean If you're at the top to create a trickle at the bottom don't you have to be rushing money out at the top of the waterfall or does that trickle really just help everyone on the way. Where do you take this stuff and is it really worth going there over?

    For 700 Billion I'd spend my most active years creating and growing a software company that would enable people like this to write comments in a forum like this, as long as I didn't have to read them.
    
    BG probably feels this. I on the other hand have been getting a run of cold cards, and was looking for a tiny diversion - which I found.

    0.00001% of $1 Billion is $100,000.....not a multi-millionaire....but I would'nt complain

    0.00001%

    

    JesusH, Mar 11th, 2006 @ 7:09pm

    
    

    So, not to beat a dead horse, but if 0.00001% of $1 Billion is $100,000 and you have $700 Billion, that would be $70 million dollars, which seems like a multi-millionaire to me.

    Not a Millionaire, Mar 11th, 2006 @ 10:54pm

    
    

    XYZ is right.
    .00001% of 700 Billion => .0000001*700,000,000,000=70,000 that is 70 thousand, not 70 million. For example using smaller numbers => 1% of a hundred dollars is one dollar right? So, .01 * 100 = 1. Remember, you need to move the decimal place over two when using percentages. Now, back to relative integration...

    Invent some neat software trick, file a patent on it,
    offer to license or sell it to MS...
    MS will always say that they are not interested in your stuff (no matter how brilliant your stuff is...), but then will quickly turn around and implement it in their products without asking you...
    
    Once you get your patent (3-5 years later), just sue the crap out of them...
    
    Read this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8122859/
    
    To add to this story, MS recently had to "downgrade" their Office suite to get rid of this useful feature from Amado's patent.
